The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani
I was/am a big No Doubt fan. I’m from the camp that enjoyed Gwen’s pink hair days (even though, yes, it signified a troubled rift between her and then-boyfriend Gavin Rossdale). “Return of Saturn” is my favorite album of theirs and I play it when I’m feeling especially nostalgic… …
Vampire Weekend - Cousins (Song)

Album: I Am empire - Kings (2011)

This record is fabulous. When people talk about the Cure and their best albums people usually mention such albums as Seventeen Seconds, the 1982 album called Pornography, the 1989 Disintegration. All of these three albums are kind of pompous, grand. This album, the 1985 The Head on the Door …

Epiphone Goth G-400 Electric Guitar

Love is a Battlefield
While the artist might not have had many hits, this one certainly proves to be the most endearing of her discography. It’s a staple of any good 80s soundtrack and still has a punchy enough tune to get the toes tapping now.

Ladyhawke, Ladyhawke (Debut Album)
I was first introduced to Ladyhawke after hearing Paris is Burning on some cable music channel. I wasn’t immediately impressed. I thought the chorus it sounded quite fresh yet catchy (a difficult combination), but equally was put off by the almost rap-esque verse.
